Why Europeans Don't Get It...

10 reasons why Europeans don't understand the McCain/Palin ticket is not dead on departure:

1. The American Voter does not live in New York City or Los Angeles. He/She lives in Pascagoula (Mississippi), Amarillo (Texas), Moscow (Idaho) and, of course, Wasilla (Alaska; hometown of Gov. Palin);

2. "We are not hypocrites. We are pro-life: against abortion, against euthanasia, pro-death penalty"

3. "Who cares if the USA has 30 times more gun-related deaths than the United Kingdom: the National Rifle Association is the largest lobby in Washington, DC and they give us a lot of money. Besides, guns do not kill people; people kill people."

4. Sarah Palin runs a family values-based campaign. Her 17 year-old daughter is pregnant and the boyfriend is the father. Again, no inconsistencies here: they are getting married.

5. John McCain is a candidate supporting change. As the slogan goes: "Change We Can Trust". McCain voted with Bush over 90% of times, but there is no contradiction here. After all, he voted against Bush almost 10 percent of times.

6. Let's build bigger, less fuel-efficient, SUVs to save American car companies. Wait... We need oil to operate them! No problem: oil companies can drill in Alaska. Oh yeah! This is a great plan to get us rid of foreign oil dependency... for about a decade.

7. The 18 million women who voted Hillary Clinton in the Primaries are now considering voting Sarah Palin because she is a woman. She will be an excellent grandmother, excuse me, Vice President, while devoting full attention to, and taking care of, her 5 children. Right... And I am Santa Claus. (I know, this is just plainly sexist...)

8. Sarah Palin is a hockey mom from Wasilla, Alaska. Europeans are ignorant: "What in the world's name is a hockey mom? Does that qualify you to be Vice-President?" (In Palin's own words: "What's the difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom? Lipstick!")

9. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, like the last Republican Presidential candidate said there would be, but... what we really care about is the economy, stupid!

10. A BLACK President called Barack HUSSEIN Obama. ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?!

The guy that posted this is an ignorant. Please excuse him...
